They Fought Like Demons: Women Soldiers in the Civil War
They Fought Like Demons: Women Soldiers in the Civil War | DeAnne Blanton, Lauren M Cook, de Anne Blanton
5 posts | 5 read | 12 to read
Albert Cashier served three years in the Union Army and passed successfully as a man until 1911 when the aging veteran was revealed to be a woman named Jennie Hodgers. Frances Clayton kept fighting even after her husband was gunned down in front of her at the Battle of Murfreesboro. And more than one soldier astonished his comrades-in-arms by giving birth in camp. This lively and authoritative book opens a hitherto neglected chapter of Civil War history, telling the stories of hundreds of women who adopted male disguise and fought as soldiers. It explores their reasons for enlisting; their experiences in combat, and the way they were seen by their fellow soldiers and the American public. Impeccably researched and narrated with verve and wit, They Fought Like Demons is a major addition to our understanding of the Civil War era."

Those who generalize on the impropriety and unladylikeness of such conduct, are unquestionably in the right, according to the practical parlor standard of life; but they know very little of the vast variety of phases which humanity assumes, or of the strange and wonderful molds which it is forced by Nature and circumstance.

#JubilantJuly Reds, whites and blues.The American Civil War was always my favorite to study pre-college. I say "pre" because I only took one Civil War class during undergrad but then in Grad school I was placed in a group project where we created a fictional Women of the Civil War Special Collections Library. So even though it might not be my "favorite" war anymore, I do find myself coming back to it from time to time. ??????
